Mindfulness program for people with chronic kidney disease
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a mindfulness-based program can help people living with moderate-to-advanced kidney disease. It may improve how you feel day-to-day and how you manage symptoms, while researchers track kidney-related health and safety.
